I am just starting to get into building and these are awesome vids. Where do you find your blanks? I have been looking at some places online but can only find certain companies blanks. Is there a bulk build house you know of?
when wrapping is the thread of a certain kind and can you tell what kind to use got an eye loose on a rod thought i would try to fix and if liked it would try to build a rod for myself thank you
There are different sizes of thread you can buy when wrapping guides, but thread is pretty inexpensive so if I was replacing guides, I would buy different sizes and use the closest match. When replacing guides I use the same process for tying the new guides to the blank as seen in this video.
How would you support the rod if you wanted to epoxy the whole rod? Would you just put the roller support at the grip?
